Crouzet 83263048 SPDT Snap Action Switch Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Crouzet 83263048 is an SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) snap action switch rated for 16A at 250V AC, designed for chassis mount applications with quick connect termination. This switch is currently active in production and widely available. Substitute parts may be required due to supply chain constraints, end-of-life considerations for related series, or specific application requirements where alternative mechanical or electrical characteristics are acceptable within design tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K qualifies as a functional substitute for the Crouzet 83263048 based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical circuit configuration (SPDT), current rating (16A AC), and voltage rating (250V AC)
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both feature lever-roller actuators, chassis mount design, and quick connect 0.187" (4.7mm) termination
• Environmental Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level)
• Operating Range: Both support -20°C to 125°C operation (Honeywell extends to -25°C minimum)

Differences in operating force (51gf vs. 120gf), mechanical life (1,000,000 vs. 5,000,000 cycles), and pretravel characteristics represent acceptable variations within snap action switch design tolerances and do not preclude substitution in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: Crouzet 83263048 remains the preferred choice for new designs and applications requiring active product status with established supply chain support.

Substitution Conditions: The Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K may be selected when:

• Supply availability of the Crouzet part is constrained
• Application mechanical life requirements do not exceed 1,000,000 cycles
• Higher operating force (120gf vs. 51gf) is acceptable or beneficial for the intended actuator mechanism
• Obsolete product status is acceptable for legacy system maintenance or repair

Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings and termination compatibility, ensuring direct functional replacement in chassis mount SPDT switching applications rated for 16A at 250V AC.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K directly replace the Crouzet 83263048 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical circuit configuration (SPDT), current and voltage ratings (16A, 250V AC), mounting type (chassis mount), and termination style (quick connect 0.187"). Physical dimensions are equivalent within manufacturing tolerances.

Q: What are the key differences between these two switches?

A: The primary differences are operating force (51gf vs. 120gf), mechanical life rating (1,000,000 vs. 5,000,000 cycles), and product status (active vs. obsolete). The Honeywell part offers extended mechanical life and lower temperature minimum (-25°C vs. -20°C). These differences do not affect electrical compatibility.

Q: Is the higher operating force of the Honeywell switch a concern?

A: Operating force differences of this magnitude are typical across snap action switch families and do not preclude substitution. The selection depends on application requirements for actuator effort and mechanism design. Both forces fall within standard industrial switch specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the Honeywell part being obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. This affects long-term availability and supply chain planning but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance for current applications. Current inventory availability should be verified before design commitment.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Crouzet 83263048 and Honeywell V15T16-EZ200A06-K are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial switching applications.

Q: Can these switches be used interchangeably in high-cycle applications?

A: The Honeywell part supports 5,000,000 mechanical cycles compared to 1,000,000 for the Crouzet part. For applications exceeding 1,000,000 cycles, the Honeywell switch provides extended operational life. For applications within 1,000,000 cycles, both parts are equivalent.
